“On the other hand, Palm’s webOS has all the DNA to be
the ideal embedded OS for a mass market mid-sized touchscreen
tablet device that would serve the functions of browser, PDA, media

generations of PalmPilots (although arguably Apple’s ill-fated
Newton, which Steve Jobs killed when he returned from his exile at
NeXT preceded it by several years) and more than 10 years before a
single Kindle shipped, the first ebooks appeared in AportisDoc
(PRC) format on Palm handhelds. Indeed, Palm is a brand that many
people used to have fan loyalty to, myself included.”
